Far on high, amongst the stars, little Alfy knew there was work to be done; trotting along through mists of cloud, he went to find his Guardian Angel.Together they walked amongst celestial fields filled with flowers of every hue.They came to the special place where the Angel turned to Alfy and said, "You know how rare and precious are the Moonflowers which grow and flourish here, so rare are they, that only one petal can we spare".
Alfy nodded and watched as the Angel plucked a single glowing creamy yellow petal, then carefully together they chose a place where the clouds parted revealing a shaft of clear blue light.
The Angel dropped the petal, which gently floated, bourne by invisible forces through the shaft of light.It floated and spiralled through many an uncounted strata, wafted and guided, its work to complete.
Far down below a small dog whimpered, trying to keep warm by a dilapidated wall, its bones barely covered by a rapidly thinning coat. She clung on to hope that something or someone would help.
Down, down travelled the petal,whorling, turning, never faltering from its path, it finally cossed through earthly plains and came to rest in an olive tree.
The little dog shivered and watched the sun come up, for another day of hurt and struggle. She turned her face upwards and the Moonflower petal floated gently down onto her head. A warmth such as she had never known, spread gradually through her body.
Alfy and the Angel looked down. The Angel asked ,"Is our work done?".
"Yes", Alfy replied
